Talking to my orchard as if it was you

Ophelia my orchard

What a beauty to behold

I could look at you forever

And it would never grow old.

πŸ₯€πŸ₯€ πŸ’—πŸ’— πŸ₯€πŸ₯€

I saw your bud unfurling

Petals formed like a maiden’s lips

You exposed your coloured heart to me

How I marvel at the shape of those lips.

πŸ₯€πŸ₯€ πŸ’—πŸ’— πŸ₯€πŸ₯€

Each petal should remind you

Of the whispers from my heart

I touch you in a magic moment

That says we will never be apart.

πŸ₯€πŸ₯€ πŸ’—πŸ’— πŸ₯€πŸ₯€

I will enjoy your beauty

For as sure as there is a new day

This passionate exchange

Will one day fade away

πŸ₯€πŸ₯€ πŸ’—πŸ’— πŸ₯€πŸ₯€

Ophelia my orchard

I am speechless

What more can I say?

Your form will always impress.

πŸ₯€πŸ₯€ πŸ’—πŸ’— πŸ₯€πŸ₯€

[ Author’s note: My orchard has just started to flower. I am always in awe of the beauty and complexity of the flowers. On this occasion, I let my mind wander and let it symbolise the feeling of love.]

Till next time,

Calvin.
